1186041 2011-03-14 22:58:00 The real problem is the Licensing service that runs and checks that the product key is legal has stopped working - when this happens it doesn't know if windows is genuine or not, so it throws up an error message saying its not.


Because the Licensing service uses Plug and Play to obtain hardware ID information and binds the license to the computer, this setting can result in an activated system appearing to be out of tolerance. The default permissions of the Plug and Play policy do not grant the Licensing service the appropriate rights to access the Plug and Play service. The Licensing service runs under the Network Service account.
Since there was a problem with with the system when SP1 was installing, more than likely to some sort of corruption this is hardly surprising its happened.

1186044 2011-03-14 23:09:00 More like if Japan didn't have nuclear power plants they wouldn't be able to break in event of an earthquake, just like WPA wouldn't be able to break in the event of data corruption... Agent_24 (57)
